"Be strict in what you emit, liberal in what you accept." Bing failed the first part, Google the second. Both should fix that.

You missed part of the argument: "But it’s very unlikely it figured this out from Google, given that for the misspelling, Google doesn’t auto-correct the word nor provide the same answer." Bing's nr 1 result is not in Google's results at al

These seem to be the relevant parts of MSs responses: "Opt-in programs like the [Bing] toolbar help us with clickstream data, one of many input signals we and other search engines use to help rank sites." “We do not copy Google’s results.”

From the article: I decided to leave Intuit and fundamentally improve communication in a way that would obsolete notebox. Sounds like notebox and CompanyLine are two different products that don't necessarily share code.

From the "What's next" section: The next bugfix version (1.7.0.1) will feature a rewrite of the DOM code to be easier to read and faster at the same time. That sounds like a lot of impact for a bugfix release.

Is "less than 10 percent of women here are employed full-time" really that interesting? My sister works 32 hours a week, yet earns more than her husband. Sure, technically she doesn't work full-time, but I see no classical gender wars scena
